Episode notes
Carl's Christian Conversion Story
- Carl Trueman became a Christian during his first year at university after hearing charismatic Anglican friends and Billy Graham's preaching.
- Books by J.I. Packer notably deepened his faith and understanding of Christianity.
Catholicism's Intellectual Strength
- America being a historically Protestant country made Protestants complacent about defending moral and ethical values.
